Over Time

Why Bullish / Bearish

Why bullish

The proposed EIP-8363 aims to reduce Ethereum's issuance, which could enhance scarcity and potentially drive up the price of ETH. By tightening supply through increased staking and lower inflation rates, the proposal is seen as beneficial for both individual stakers and institutional investors. Overall, supporters argue that this change will improve Ethereum's monetary policy and value proposition.

Why bearish

The proposed EIP-8361 faces significant backlash primarily due to concerns over reduced staking rewards, which could negatively impact the DeFi ecosystem and overall Ethereum yields. Critics argue that the monetary policy change is overly complicated, poorly timed, and framed in a theoretical manner that doesn't address practical community needs. Additionally, there is growing opposition to the potential long-term risks associated with excess staked ETH and the overall unpopularity of the proposal.
